They assault you, maybe even kill you, then they steal what you have. They don't charge you and you don't get your property back. You may think, "Oh, it'll never happen to me." Like a car accident, it happens to the other guy, not me; or it happens in other countries, but it doesn't happen here in the United States. Wrong! It is happening now! Everywhere! You'll be hearing a lot more about Americans being attacked, not only at their homes, but on the road and in their businesses. It's out of control and must be stopped. As the economy continues to deteriorate, it will only get worse.

A recent example was a private poker game above an auto body shop here in Pennsylvania. Police entered the building and seized $14,000 cash, personal cell phones, 3 televisions, and other private property. District Attorney David Freed said he wanted the operation shut down before it conceivably fell prey to a robbery. He said it without cracking a smile. What did he think the police had just done? "This game was a profit-making enterprise,'' Freed said during a news conference today at the Upper Allen police station. "With substantial cash passing through the game each week, it was a ripe target for enterprising criminals.'' Freed said.

Subsequently, on TV, this writer watched Police Chief James Adams state that no one would be charged with any wrongdoing! He bragged how the loot would be used to fund his department. And then his statement was followed by a station advertising break so viewers could see the daily results of the Pennsylvania State Lottery, the Mother of all gambling in the state. The hypocrisy of it all is staggering. When reading the following link, be sure to read the "comments" following the story.

The precedent for such theft by our police is the Civil Asset Forfeiture law so effectively used by the Feds. It's a fast and convenient way for federal, state and local agencies to replenish their dwindling money coffers. Whether it's alleged gambling, drugs, money laundering, whatever, it doesn't matter. They just get a corrupt and/or stupid judge to sign a warrant for them to search and seize. For the victims there is no court, and NO JUSTICE, just loss of personal property and maybe injury or death.

Even more onerous, and like all too many of these nightmare scenarios, what happened to Cheye Calvo, mayor of Berwyn Heights, Maryland is becoming all too common:

"Johnson, a private on the local police force, was making his accustomed rounds in the neighborhood when he saw a swarm of heavily armed men laying siege to the Calvo home. Inside, Cheye and his mother-in-law, Georgia Porter, were being held face-down at gunpoint with their hands tied behind their backs. The Calvo family's two black Labradors, Chase and Payton, were dead from gunshot wounds. The assailants who killed the dogs were leaving bloody bootprints throughout the home.
"This home invasion was, of course,

Our last month's Liberty Merchant News dealt with many aspects of Keynesianism. What happened at mayor Calvo's home is the end result… "police-state-keynesianism." We have arrived. Welcome to the new America.
